Garment workers continued their protests for the fourth consecutive day, demanding a minimum monthly wage of Tk 30,000. Police have arrested 33 members of a banned organisation who allegedly disguised themselves as garment workers to carry out subversive activities during the demonstrations.

Deputy Commissioner (Media and Public Relations) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Md Aktar Hossain, confirmed the arrests on Tuesday (November 3).

According to Aktar Hossain, the DMP arrested 33 members of the banned organisation over the past 24 hours. They allegedly posed as garment workers to engage in subversive activities during the protests.

Meanwhile, the demonstrations over the past few days have been marked by repeated chases and counter-chases, clashes with police and incidents of vehicle arson. Several cases have also been filed in connection with three consecutive days of protests in Mirpur, Dhaka, involving allegations of arson and attacks on police. Thousands of people have been named as accused in these cases.
